I'm part of a recently-established casual beginner's ladies' football group who meet on Saturday morning on Peckham Rye common. A lot of us live locally and have started meeting mid-week as well for an evening kick about on the common, but as the days are getting darker we probably can't keep that up for long.


Does anyone have any recommendations of cheap/free venues where we can run around and kick a ball for an hour or so on a mid-week evening in the area?

My friend pixysunflower just alerted me to this thread. DHFC astro costs ?35 an hour, which is cheaper than most other astros for hire.


PS: @ what time do you play on a Sat. (and now I'm intrigued as to whether I know any of you). :))

Hi Elenihm,


There's something else that you might like to check out called the London Ladies Friendly League. It consists of around 8 local women's teams of all ages abilities who play 11-a-side league games through the season every two weeks or so. Every team also has a mid week training session, at a local astroturf and you might find that teaming up with one of them (to cut costs) works out for you. A couple of the teams also have five-a-side league teams.


It's a league for all ages and abilities, VERY informal and VERY friendly, and the teams are always looking for players for anyone who wants to play. The league itself is run by Pete Deller and there is a facebook group at;

You can find out about the teams there, or just put a shout out in a post and someone will get back to you.

    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end! 
    • Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
